environment s effect on iq edit other studies have focused on environmental factors that may affect iq for example research has shown that factors such as access to education nutrition and social support can have a significant impact on iq recent research shows that children who spend time in nature develop better executive functioning and attention skills according to recent meta analytic studies although the results show small effects that vary between studies 60 a study examining the brain wide associations of hundreds of environmental and phenotypic factors showed socioeconomic status and iq to have similar brain patterns linked to arousal sleep deprivation and stress with socioeconomic status having the stronger brain links relative to iq 61 personality traits edit main article personality psychology genetic basis of personality personality is a frequently cited example of a heritable trait that has been studied in twins and adoptees using behavioral genetic study designs the most famous categorical organization of heritable personality traits were defined in the 1970s by two research teams led by paul costa robert r mccrae and warren norman lewis goldberg in which they had people rate their personalities on over 1 000 dimensions which they then narrowed down into the big five factors of personality openness conscientiousness extraversion agreeableness and neuroticism studies have found that extraversion has a genetic component with estimates of heritability ranging from 30 to 50 62 non primary source needed the close genetic relationship between positive personality traits and for example our happiness traits are the mirror images of comorbidity in psychopathology these personality factors were consistent across cultures and many studies have also tested the heritability of these traits personal agency also factors into this debate while genetic and environmental factors can shape personality individuals also have agency in shaping their own personality through their choices behaviors and attitudes for example one study found that college students who participated in study abroad programs scored higher on measures of openness to experience compared to those who did not participate another study found that individuals who lived in diverse neighborhoods were more likely to score higher on openness to experience compared to those who lived in more homogenous neighborhoods 63 non primary source needed identical twins reared apart are far more similar in personality than randomly selected pairs of people likewise identical twins are more similar than fraternal twins also biological siblings are more similar in personality than adoptive siblings each observation suggests that personality is heritable to a certain extent a supporting article had focused on the heritability of personality which is estimated to be around 50 for subjective well being in which a study was conducted using a representative sample of 973 twin pairs to test the heritable differences in subjective well being which were found to be fully accounted for by the genetic model of the five factor model s personality domains 64 however these same study designs allow for the examination of environment as well as genes adoption studies also directly measure the strength of shared family effects adopted siblings share only family environment most adoption studies indicate that by adulthood the personalities of adopted siblings are little or no more similar than random pairs of strangers this would mean that shared family effects on personality are zero by adulthood citation needed in the case of personality traits non shared environmental effects are often found to out weigh shared environmental effects that is environmental effects that are typically thought to be life shaping such as family life may have less of an impact than non shared effects which are harder to identify one possible source of non shared effects is the environment of pre natal development random variations in the genetic program of development may be a substantial source of non shared environment these results suggest that nurture may not be the predominant factor in environment environment and our situations do in fact impact our lives but not the way in which we would typically react to these environmental factors we are preset with personality traits that are the basis for how we would react to situations an example would be how extraverted prisoners become less happy than introverted prisoners and would react to their incarceration more negatively due to their preset extraverted personality 32 behavioral genes are somewhat proven to exist when we take a look at fraternal twins when fraternal twins are reared apart they show the same similarities in behavior and response as if they have been reared together 65 genetics edit the relationship between personality and people s own well being is influenced and mediated by genes 64 there has been found to be a stable set point for happiness that is characteristic of the individual largely determined by the individual s genes happiness fluctuates around that setpoint again genetically determined based on whether good things or bad things are happening to us nurture but only fluctuates in small magnitude in a normal human the midpoint of these fluctuations is determined by the great genetic lottery that people are born with which leads them who to conclude that how happy they may feel at the moment or over time is simply due to the luck of the draw or gene this fluctuation was also not due to educational attainment which only accounted for less than 2 of the variance in well being for women and less than 1 of the variance for men 42 they who consider that the individualities measured together with personality tests remain steady throughout an individual s lifespan they further believe that human beings may refine their forms or personality but can never change them entirely darwin s theory of evolution steered evolutionary biologists such as george c williams and w d hamilton to the concept of personality evolution they suggested that physical organs and also personality is a product of natural selection 66 with the advent of gene sequencing it has become possible to search for and identify specific gene polymorphisms that affect traits such as iq and personality these techniques work by tracking the association of differences in a trait of interest with differences in specific molecular markers or functional variants in contrast to views developed in 1960s that gender identity is primarily learned which led to a protocol of surgical sex changes in male infants with injured or malformed genitals such as david reimer genomics has provided solid evidence that both sex and gender identities are primarily influenced by genes disputed discuss it is now clear that genes are vastly more influential than virtually any other force in shaping sex identity and gender identity the growing consensus in medicine is that children should be assigned to their chromosomal i e genetic sex regardless of anatomical variations and differences with the option of switching if desired later in life siddhartha mukherjee the gene an intimate history 2016 see also edit psychology portal biology portal
